Objective: The aim of this work is to the relation between age, and gender and choosing a certain mode of transport to travel between two main Iraqi cites. Methods: a statistical method, T-test, is used to distinguish between these parameters. Data: Infield survey data was collected using questionnaire. Results: the results indicate that passengers are differentiated in terms of age, and gender.
